Guardianship

What is guardianship?

Guardianship is a legal process in which rights are taken away from one individual and given to someone else.

Guardianship is a serious legal matter and a court will not grant a guardianship if less restrictive means to help are available.

When is it needed?

An elderly person no longer has the capacity to care for himself or manage his financial affairs.

A disabled person has attained the age of 18, but cannot assume adult responsibilities.

A minor has received an inheritance outside of a trust.
